MUFFLERS

Introduction

Muffllers are designed to prevent noise and vibration due to refrigerant pressure on the discharge line of the compressor. Sounds resulting from piston and screw compressors are decreased to minimum level by collision within chambers, thanks to chambers with holes. They can be mounted according to any direction of fllow after the compressor discharge valve. Muffller’s inlet and outlet must be fixed in order to eliminate vibrations that may lead to low performance of the muffller. Discharge line mufflers reduce gas pulsations and noise but do not prevent mechanical noise or vibration that occur because of transmission.
